Please consider submitting an abstract to the process control session
for advanced manufacturing and materials processing that I am running
at the next
International Symposium on Flexible Automation to be held In Osaka
Japan July 10-12 2006 (see note below for further details on this
session).
See instructions for submitting a paper at
(http://pmrc.marc.gatech.edu/isfa2006/ )
Extended abstracts/draft papers are due January 20th.
Please forward this to others you feel might be interested. Thank you
for your consideration.

Process control has provided significant value for a variety of
important application areas since the beginning of control development.
While originally focused on chemical processing, it has grown to
provide enabling capabilities spanning semiconductor, photonic, and
other materials processing and manufacturing applications. In
particular, while improving materials processing capabilities continues
to be of fundamental importance to meeting the manufacturing
requirements for the next generation of materials, these processing
problems are increasingly more difficult as we seek to manufacture new
materials, achieve greater control over material microstructure, and
meet stringent performance and production requirements.
The successful development of process control systems for these
advanced manufacturing and materials processing applications requires
the application a controls based approach which includes an integrated
effort of physical modelling, sensor development, system design and
control development. Design of both the system and control structure
needs to be conducted with an understanding of the dominant process
physics. Thus, this research typically involves modeling which provides
insight into the dominant process physics. A control perspective,
however, is useful since it provides the basis for determining what
modeling is important
The objective of this session is to present the latest process control
research for a variety of applications that include process modeling,
dynamics, sensor system development, and control.
The topics of interest for this session include, but are not limited
to, the following:
•Nano-materials processing including electrospinning
•Coating processes for energy applications such as solar cells, fuel
cells, and engines; biological applications; and displays. Coating
processes include chemical and physical vapor deposition processes,
electron beam, plasma spray.
•Novel manufacturing processes, such as micro machining
•Traditional manufacturing processes such as welding and machining
•Bulk materials processing applications such as crystal growth, silicon
manufacturing, primary metals
